Two-thirds of the people who at tend world’s fairs go to have a good time. They would not go at all i shows and entertainments were no i)rovided for them. The pdl ot learning always has to be sugar- coated. Rut even those who go to such event.-! in the spirit of trolic, are bound to get something of .solui value out of them.

A rig^d frame harrow is especially serviceable in rough ground because its rigidity permits it to bear the weight of a man. All McCor- mick-Deering harrows are well built and do good work in smoothing down seed beds. All standard sizes are available. Harrow carts may be had on special order. Macon County Supply Co.

Lb 13c THANK YOU, J. M. MOORE, Mg r. FAIRS New York is :J1 set now to hold the largest World’s hair e\er staged, in 1939. It will be the first truly international exposition to be held in America since the Panama- Pacific J-'.xposition in San Fran cisco in 1915. The first World’s Fair was the Crystal I'alace F:xposition in Lon- i don in 1851. Prince Albert, Queen \’ictoria’s hus^band, inspired it He I thought that British industrialists ' and businessmen wwe beliiwl those I of the Continent in many ways. I JSringing industrial and commercial j exhibits to London might stimulate i British industry, he thought. ■ 'J'hc results proved that he was right. Britain’s great industri:d and artistic development really began with that World’s I'air of 1851. 'I'he real ])urp«se of a genuine W'’orld’s Fair is to stiinulate the in terchange arnong nations not only of gocxls but of ideas. PROFITS . simetimes aim The motive behind many exposi tions which call themselves World s Fairs is that of putting on a big show to draw large numbers of visitors to a town or region, so that IcKal business interests can make a profit by selling them food and lodging, gasoline and sovueiiirs. Staging a fair is a good way to bring in-oney into a town. Chicago’s Century of I’rogress h'xposition of 1933-.34 was a purely commercial enteriirise, which paid back all the money that it cost and resulted In a great deal of 'business for the city’s merchants and hotel keejiers. It was not, in any real sense, a world’s fair. It did serve to provide a useful background and a large audience for the big adver tisers who put on spectacular and interesting displays. TEXAS .... its Centennial 'J'his year the big fair is the Texas Centennial at Dalla.s. Some thing like $25,(XX),000 has been spent to provide an exposition which, within its scope, promises to be both educational and enter taining. The show at Dallas will open on June 6. The whole Southwest is enthusiastic about it and the indica tions are that every road leading to Dallas will be crowded with cars all summer, and the railroads, bus lines and air routes will have all the traffic they can attend to. J''rom the advance announcements that 1 have seen, 1 think the Dallas I’air w'ill be worth anybody’s time. The liistoric event which this Texas Centennial commemorates has always seemed to me one of the most stirring episodes in our national history. I am glad to learn that one of the important buildings at the Dallas F'air will be the FLall of Heroes. It seems to me that the times call for recognition of the fact that America was founded and develoiK’d by men who were not afraid to fi.ght. CALIFORNIA .... its fairs Out on the Pacific Coast 1 think people are more exposition-minded than in any other part of the coun try. T do-n’t know just how many fairs of national or international imivortance have been held out there, but they had a mighty good one at Portland, Oregon, in 1905. There have been three or four at San Diego, S«n Francisco had a si>lendid and genuinely international exposition in 1915, and now the an nouncement has been made that there will be another big fair on an island in San Francisso Bay in 1938. That will be well worth going to see. No American’s education is complete if he has not seen Cali fornia. .'\nd by 1938 the two great est bridges in the world will have been completed, the one across the Golden Gate connecting San Fran cisco with the Marin County Penin sula, to the North; and the great bridge across San Francisco Bay, tying Alameda County to the vrest- ern metropolis. I hope I can go to that fair, and T wish I could go to the one at Dallas this year. VALUES .... /always there T have seen qt*te a nwmber of World’s Fairs, and have never failed to learn something of real and permanent value from every ”T»y .nfor»a.ion available » the ge„- ri a »-callel civil "e school in orfer to compete m a divil service examination A sp'ecial point was made of the fact that information cot^ernmg examinations may be any time, without cost, from th “cretary of the civil service board at any first or second class post- office or from the commission s of fice in Washington, D.

It was made clear that no school has any connection whatever with the civil service commission or with anv other branch of the govern ment, and also that the commis sion has no agents who solicit ap plications for civil service positions tained from ativ above mentioned in cases theciJjE are unable to affonjW costs to the clmic probably be obtaiJ'S touch with the Clinic for Crippled Children Set for May 16 The monthly crippled childrens clinic, sponsored by the Rotary dubs of Sylva, Franklm, Bryson City and Andrews, will be Bryson City, Saturday, May 16, be ginning at 9:30 a. m.
